Architectural Heritage Exhibition

places in dormant state

The
Serra Henriques Foundation supports this exhibition's organization and the publishing
of the concerning book of contents under the curatorship of Maria Rita Pais and
Luís Santiago Baptista.

The
exhibition originates in a "journey to the invisible" because it
focuses on abandoned places of high patrimonial value, that exist in the
shadows, inaccessible and unattainable.

There are fifteen case-studies in
the Portuguese territory, presented as documents, drawings, canvases or
original scale models, films and photographs of one hundred authors
(architects, geographers, historians, artists, anthropologists, photographers
and cinematographers).

The initiative has the support of
the Ministry of Culture and will be presented to the general public during
August, 2017, at the Thalia Theatre, in Lisbon, used under the kind permission
of the Ministry of Education.

This event seeks to
highlight good practice and boost initiatives that lead to the revitalization
of spaces, conservation or rehabilitation of this patrimony in a dormant state.
